Is population really our problem

Was with a friend yday discussing country’s problems (Yeah I now favorite pastime of middleclass of the country) and general consensus was that the biggest problem of the country is its population, but I beg to differ, I believe when you focus on the problem then you believe that the problem is the population but when you start focusing on the solution then you will think ok let’s see, so the problem is population now how to control it there are 2 ways to do it either educate everyone or China way of making a law and implementing it with an iron fist. Later is not plausible or acceptable in Indian democracy that we go to former and then we realize that the problem is not population its Education and if we go further back we see that even if we have huge population to educate at the same time we also have resources to do that and when we go further inside we realize that the actual problem is not this superficial things but the political will power to bring about the change. And then we know that we have no one to blame but ourselves.
